Detekce mikrobiální kontaminace molekulárně-biologickými metodami v kořeninové paprice
Machálková, Zuzana
Dryed pepper is one of the most used spice in many parts of the world. The presence of undesirable pathogens can be a serious problem for consumers. Especially contamination by microscopic fungi, some of which produce mycotoxins representatives, poses a great threat to humans. Today's conventional method for determining contamination by microorganisms are time consuming and some less common types of pathogens can be difficult to determine. In the context of this thesis were applied molecular biology methods for detection of contamination in samples of pepper. There were selected ITS regions for sequencing, which show high variability between species and organisms are an appropriate tool for the taxonomy. The sequence analysis of the ITS regions were identified by sequence high similarity with the ITS regions of many microscopic fungi especially representatives of the class of Ascomycotina and several yeast species. The work was a qualitative rather than a quantitative detection, which does not exclude the wholesomeness of the samples, which is proven by health protocols.

Miniaturized techniques for analysis of industrial yeasts
Obalil, Jiří ; Kočí, Radka (referee) ; Klepárník,, Karel (advisor)
Carotenoids are natural pigments that have antioxidation and antimutagenic abilities. They are produced with the help of new technological methods. For example, carotenoid yeast Rhodotorula glutinis produces -carotene with the yield of up to 6 – 10 mg/g of the dry substance. The method of the mass spectrometry with the nanoelectrospray in the positive mode was optimized for the determination of -carotene, lycopene and astaxanthin in this project. Ionizing voltage of 4 kV and the sample flow rate of 15 – 80 nl/min through the spray silica fused capillary with the internal diameter of 25 µm were found to be the optimum parameters of the analysis. A mixture of chloroform with the addition of ammonia was used as a spray solvent for both standard and cellular samples. During the process of ionization by nanoelectrospray, -carotene and lycopene form cation radical [M] • + with the molecular mass to charge ratio (m/z) of 536, while asthaxanthin forms the protonated molecule [M + H]+ with the m/z of 597. The partial lysis of individual Rhodotorula glutinis cells was demonstrated under microscope in the organic solvents tetrahydrofuran and dimethylsulfoxide. Chloroform, acetone, acetonitrille, methanol and isopropanol did not affect the cells after a 15 min treatment.

Use of selected fluorescence techniques to characterization of microbial cells
Vaněk, Martin ; Pekař, Miloslav (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Carotenoids are one of the most abundant natural pigment. Furthermore, they have great potential for wide industrial utilization. Nowadays, prefered (and cheaper) synthetic method counters progressively improved biotechnological production. Far more cheaper production should be reached via implementing methods of on-line optimization, such as flow cytometry. In this thesis the dependence of yeasts autotofluorescence intensity on carotenoids concentration in dry mass was studied. The dependence was established by means of linear regression. Moreover, the dependence between light scatter and the amount of dry mass was established by means of model utilizing forward scatter, side scatter and number of cells in unit volume. Yeasts' cells was also studied under the lenses of laser scanning confocal microscope. The goal was to localize carotenoids inside cells. Experiments undertaken suggest that they are localized inside the lipidic granules, but more experiments are required for a proof.

Study of extraction of the biologically active substances from elderberry marc
Lošková, Tereza ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the determining of anthocyanin pigments in the extracts of elderberry marc (Sambucus nigra L.). The theoretical part is divided into four main chapters. In the first chapter there is botanical characteristics of elderberry, its origin and occurrence, chemical composition and the possibilities of usage in a food industry. The second part is devoted to characterization of phenolic compounds in berry fruits. Bigger attention is given to anthocyanin dyes, its occurrence, properties, health and antioxidant effects and the possibilities of usage in food industry. The third chapter is devoted to methods of determination of discussed dyes and phenolic compounds. The fourth chapter deals with the possibilities of disruption of plant cell walls. In the experimental part a series of elderberry marc's extraction was made. The purpose was to optimize the extraction course and to get the highest yield of dyes in an economically and operationally acceptable way. Time dependence of extractions was studied and a kind of extraction solvent and a ratio of its components were optimized. Distilled water or its mixture with ethanol was used as a solvent. During the water extraction the temperatures 25 °C and 50 °C were maintained and with the higher temperature the higher yields were obtained. Apart from this another supporting components as cellulolytic enzyme, ultrasound or shaker were used. The most effective method of extraction proved to be the extraction by the mixture water-ethanol (50:50) in the volume 80 mL. The total anthocyanins yield of this extraction was, expressed as cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent, 914,4 ± 3,8 mg100 g-1 dry weight after 10 hours and the total phenolics yield was, expressed as gallic acid equivalent, 1957,0 ± 9,9 mg100 g-1 dry weight at the same time. The usage of ultrasound increased the efficiency of the extraction by water at 50 °C by 12 %. On the contrary, the usage of cellulolytic enzyme didn't increase the anthocyanin yield, because the enzyme was inactive.

Kuklíková, Radka ; Rothová, Olga (advisor) ; Hnilička, František (referee)
This work monitors the response of plants to the application of a solution of synthetic brassinosteroid (5-fluor-3α,17β-dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-6-on) under drought stress conditions and subsequent restoration of water availability. The response of two plant species was monitored under six-day period of cessation of watering and under six-day period of renewed optimal water supply. The experiments were carried out on plants with different type of photosynthesis - C3 plant Vicia faba L. and C4 plant Zea mays L.. For both plant species, three varieties/genotypes were used. Photosynthetic, morphological and developmental characteristics were monitored. The brassinosteroid treatment influenced more the morphological than the photosynthetic characteristics. The content of photosynthetic pigments was influenced more than the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. The differences in morphological characteristics between individual varieties/genotypes were observed. The response to the application of brassinosteroid was observed especially for drought-sensitive variety/genotype. Application of brassinosteroid caused increase of the dry mass of leaves and roots, the height to leaf , the height of the whole plant and its increment under stress and post-stress periods in both plant species. The content of...
